SlowMist CISO: New MacSync variant malware can bypass macOS security and steal cryptocurrency wallet data.

According to 23pds, Chief Information Security Officer of SlowMist Technology, a new variant of the information-stealing malware MacSync has emerged, which can successfully bypass the macOS Gatekeeper security mechanism, and some users' assets have already been stolen.

This malware employs multiple techniques to evade detection, including file inflation, network connection verification, and a self-destructing script upon execution. Attackers can use this software to steal sensitive data from victims, such as iCloud keychains, browser passwords, and cryptocurrency wallets.

Users should be vigilant, avoid downloading software from unknown sources, update operating system security patches promptly, and take additional measures to protect their crypto assets.
